Data Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS, Inc.) is a Premiere Channel Partner for Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), providing our customers with un-parralled support and services. DSS, Inc. provides design, implementation/integration, on-site installation and after market support services. Offering several unique features, Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage provide the greatest scalability and flexibility of any modular storage line on the market. |
Adaptable Modular Storage Systems Provide Enterprise-class Functionality without Compromising Quality and Reliability |
These advanced modular storage systems are configured and managed from a “single pane of glass”—the easy-to-use, graphical user interface (GUI) of Hitachi Storage Management and HiCommand® Suite software. Adaptable Modular Storage 1000, 500 and 200 systems are today’s most scalable, high performance, high-availability modular storage systems. All three models support native Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN), network attached storage (NAS) or Ethernet-attached iSCSI on high-performance Fibre Channel or cost-efficient SATA intermix drives. The Adaptable Modular Storage 1000 supports any two protocols. The other models support dual iSCSI and Fibre Channel host connections. All of these models also support RAID-6 disk configurations, for even higher availability. Workgroup Modular Storage 100 is ideal for small to midsized organizations that require the best in scalability and Performance in a small footprint. This system supports cost-efficient SATA drives while maintaining the reliability edge that orld-class Hitachi engineering delivers. For configuration options, pricing and availability please allow DSS, Inc. to put together a detailed solution designed to meet your project criteria and earn your business. |
Field upgradeability. Upgrade from the Adaptable Modular Storage 200 to the 500 system with over 160 terabytes (TB) of SATA and Fibre Channel storage capacity. Upgrade from the Adaptable Modular Storage 500 to the 1000 system with over 320TB of capacity. Fibre Channel, NAS and iSCSI support. This support allows IP-based volumes to be managed with the same tools as SAN volumes, reducing management overhead and improving usability. The Adaptable Modular Storage 1000 offers dual protocol (any two) support. The other models have an option for dual protocol connectivity that allows for both iSCSI and Fibre Channel host connectivity. Cache partitioning. More efficiently allocate cache to specific applications, optimizing their performance. Multiple partitions (2 partitions to 8 partitions in the 200 system, 2 partitions to 16 partitions in 500 system, and 2 partitions to 32 partitions in 1000 system) allow ultimate flexibility in meeting the performance needs of any application. RAID-6 dual parity striping. Employ RAID-6 for more reliable rebuild in the rare event of a disk drive failure. RAID-6 is over 1,300 times less likely to incur data loss due to hard disk drive (HDD) failure than RAID-5. RAID-6 enables the storage administrator to choose a convenient time to perform a RAID group rebuild after a failure. With dual parity, there is no exposure to a second HDD failure. Logical Unit Migration software. Enable volumes to be moved from one RAID group to another with this software without impacting the application server. SATA and Fibre Channel disk drive intermix (with Adaptable Modular Storage models). Take advantage of the intermix capability to host any workload on the most economical storage system. |
Features and functions clearly address the needs of any business, from small to midsized to large organizations: |
